One of the joys of working on the internet is, of course, your complete and utter helplessness when your equipment decides that it wants to be a bastard. Oh, sure, your computer will tell you that you’ve got full wireless signal and the modem will have all the little lights on saying that the internet is connected and wireless is working but does that mean you can actually access any websites? No. No it does not. And as satisfying as it would be to throw all those little gadgets that smirk at you with their little LED indicator lights across the room, you know you can’t because that will just make the whole situation worse, somehow. And when you finally figure out the right combination of cords and switching it off for 30 seconds and turning it back on to make everything work, it makes even less sense which just aggravates you more. But enough about my day, here’s your Wednesday night TV:

“Ghost Hunters International” on SyFy

“Man vs. Food Nation” on Travel

“Operation Repo” on TruTV. Can anyone tell me what entertainment value there is in shows like this? Especially this one, since it’s all reenactments. Honestly though, is it really that enjoyable to watch people get tickets or get towed or have their possessions taken from them in anything but an extremely low ‘at least it’s not me’ kind of satisfaction? Also, should you happen to have any of these things happen to you, why would you sign the release form to allow it to be televised? That last question also applies to any and all police shows that use actual footage.

“Roseanne’s Nuts” on Lifetime

“Royal Pains” on USA

“Toddlers and Tiaras” on TLC. Fourth season summer finale. I feel like these pageants would be way less distasteful if the point was to make cute little girls look like, you know, cute little girls. Pigtails, fluffy dresses, mary janes, little girl clothing. The fact that the point seems to be to make them look like tiny versions of grown women is where it turns the corner for me. Aside from the fact that many of the mothers seem absolutely insane. That’s troubling as well.

“Truck Stop, Missouri” on Travel

10:30pm: “Jon Benjamin Has a Van” on Comedy Central. First season finale.
